As the East and South Winds fight in killer-squalls
deep in a mountain valley thrashing stands of timber,
oak and ash and cornel with bark stretched taut and hard
and they whip their long sharp branches against each other,
a deafening roar goes up, the splintered timber crashing –
so Achaeans and Trojans crashed,
hacking into each other.
– Homer
The Iliad, Book 16, lines 889-895. The Trojan and Achaean forces fight by the corpse of Hector’s half-brother Cebriones. They are compared to the East and South Winds challenging one another in mountain forests.
